May 25, 2021
High-performance stalwart Cigarette Racing has been acquired in a deal brokered by investment firm Lionheart Capital and entrepreneur John H. Ruiz.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

For a yard more used to evolution than revolution the new Princess X95 is a radical departure from the norm but how does it stack up as a boat?
Things have been a little different at Princess lately. A brisk wind of change has been blowing through the hallowed halls of Britain’s most quietly conservative boatbuilder since the arrival of executive chairman Anthony Sheriff, late of McLaren Cars, and chief marketing officer Kiran Haslam, who used to work for Bentley.
These gentlemen didn’t join the firm to take it easy, but to shake things up. The world is changing, the market is changing, and as old values and habits are held up to scrutiny, new approaches and ideas are ushered in.

So do films with Keanu Reeves, who is famous for his deadpan delivery. He brings his signature wooden acting style to roles in several films on our list, including a serial killer in
